The Impact of Retraction Cords on the Gingival Margin Level.
Jordan60 participantsStarted 2023-07-25
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between placing specific retraction cord for different periods of time and the post-operative gingival margin level in humans. Determining the amount of immediate reversible and delayed irreversible gingival recession (vertical gingival retraction) that might happen after placing a retraction cord around a natural tooth in healthy humans. It also aims to investigate the impact of mechanical and chemo-mechanical gingival retraction on periodontal health.
